Pet of the Week

Pet of the Week: Foxy & Tim

Breed: Bullmastiff
Age: 3 years old
Sex: Female, spayed
Size: Large
Personality: Cuddly, Adventurous, Gentle

Maggie is a sweet, affectionate girl with a huge heart and an even bigger capacity for love. She’s been patiently waiting for the right family to give her the forever home she deserves. Maggie has an adventurous spirit and loves to play, explore, and enjoy quality time with her people. Whether it’s a fun outing or a simple walk, she’s happiest when she’s by your side.

At the same time, Maggie knows how to slow things down. On quiet, rainy days, she’s more than content to curl up on the couch, soak up all the cuddles, and relax while watching a movie. She truly enjoys both active days and peaceful downtime, making her a wonderful balance of playful and laid-back.

Maggie would thrive in a home with experienced dog owners who understand dog-to-dog reactivity, as she prefers to be the only pet in the home. While she doesn’t get along with other animals, that doesn’t define her, she has so much love, loyalty, and companionship to offer the right people. Are you open to giving Maggie a second chance at happiness?

Call 905-885-4131 for more information or visit northumberlandhs.com to learn more about this special girl.
